2017 Eyra. Has anyone done anything to keep water out of the "dry" side of the cooler? In theory this design is a great idea, but it need some tweaking. Obviously ice melts, water sloshes around when running and the dry side quickly fills up with water. Plus there is no drain on that side so I have to use the ShopVac to suck the water out after each use.
Just wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks for it?
Thanks
I have installed a drain on the dry side. If you are having problems with sloshing you could glue some foam to the center so it would compress and keep it dry. My 2018 will get water in it during heavy rain. It runs down in both corners and builds up. the lid fits so tight on both sides and the compression latches do not allow it to drain around the bottom. I have shown this to Bass Cat so hopefully it will not happen to future models. Arthur
Just use frozen bottles of water instead of ice. It keeps everything cold and eventually you have ice water to drink.

Of course I talk to myself...sometimes I need expert advice.
Keep the plug out... I do this in Texas and everything stay cold enough or cool enough and no water getting into the dry storage for the most part. Works great!

If you want your food dry, put it in tupperware. Pretty simple.
My Eyra was the same. I kept the plug in. The melted ice and remaining ice kept drinks very cold. It would occasionally slosh to the dry storage (sandwich) side. But it was never a large amount of water. It may be a leak issue while raining. I usually could dry it up with a few paper towels.
